IPMItool News

The project has finally found a new home at CodeBerg.
The hosting looks very promising and seems to provide all or almost all the features that I've used for ipmitool on GitHub.
Let's hope they will be reliable. Unfortunatly, I was unable to copy the open issues from GitHub there (as I'm banned from GitHub),
so the old issues are only available there, and not on CodeBerg.... read more

Sorry to say, but on March 1st without any prior notice or any explanation whatsoever,
GitHub has suspended my personal account and made orphan all the projects that I owned / maintained.

That includes ipmitool and frugen.

This mailing list and the old sourceforge project page are the only means of communication with you
that I have left. I am currently searching for a way to unblock my GitHub or (less preferably) migrate
ipmitool once again to another less hostile service.... read more

As SourceForge has been demonstrating highly unstable and slow performance lately, the ipmitool project development got moved to GitHub that provides far better development tools and has very good performance. Please do not use SourceForge repository for ipmitool anymore.

Tickets are also obsolete here in favor of GitHub issues. Existing tickets (up to [#511]) will eventually be sorted out and updated according to progress, but no new tickets will be accepted. If you have any bug to report or a feature to request, feel free to file a GitHub issue at https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool/issues for that purpose, and if you have a patch, please attach it there or better create a pull request with GitHub at https://github.com/ipmitool/ipmitool/pulls. ... read more
